Heifer is due in 2 weeks. Does her bag look right?

Horrible udder. Her mother and grandmother were vastly better. She doesn't milk well either. You may find you don't want to keep this one beyond the first year - or her daughters.

Umm.. I have cows that don't have the best bag in the world but raise good calves but never had a heifer with a bag like that. If I were after good genetics I would not keep any of her calves and probably not her. If you are trying to have a good herd nows the time to get good heifers/cows with good genetics.

I'm looking for the 4th quarter...if it's there and same size as the other rear quarter then fine...otherwise looks like she may have mastitis. Has it just filled recently??CCCowman":w2xhxbal said:Heifer is due in 2 weeks. Does her bag look right?
